AHHHH!!! Just got a text from my bestest good friend from high school that is out in Cali on business, and I get to have dinner with tonight. YESSSS!!! Loving me some life!!! Dude, is there really anything better than hanging out with your friend from when you were 12??? Yeah, he remembers the awkward stages and everything in between. yahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Also, just got off the phone with the parentals. They were over the moon over our livestream with The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco & @AnnieAuto's Chris French yesterday. It's gotta be really weird having a daughter as an entrepreneur, being like THIS IS WHERE THIS IS GOING yada yada yada ... and having them just look at you like you have 6 heads. Both my parents are HUGGEEE fans of TBBT - so that was just awesome applesauce for them. They were very excited. (Thx again @noashaw!!!)

BAHHHH!!! So, so, SOOOOO excited for everything we've got going on. I don't mean to be a bit evasive about it, but I just don't count my eggs before they're hatched - but DUDDESSSS we've got some epicly awesome stuff coming up. It's just so unbelievably amazing, and humbling to realize that all you ever have to do is figure out who you are, and through finding your own value, HUSTLE enough to get it done. I live in a constant state of gratitude with a roomie by the name of unapologetic awesomeness that snores really really really loudly!!!

OMG! And I totally cleaned my room today. Which for me is a HUGGEEE task! For reals, my brain is just not wired for being able to keep clean. I eat things, leave the box around with the fork still in it - totally gross, but I really do run around that much. So yeah, a clean room for me = AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!

Bottom line, I can't thank you all ENOOUUGHHHHH for checking out this site, and finding all of this interesting enough to read. Our traffic has been through the roof lately, and words cannot express my gratitude - just know if you guys EVVERRRRRRRRRRR need anything, or want me to promote anything .. blah blah blah please drop me a tweet: @JenFriel and I will do all my best to repay. THANK YOU!!!!

#nowplaying: Collective Soul - Heavy

I really don't know how I am still standing. This week has been NONNNNNN-STOPPPP!!! Literally, I haven't gotten more than 3 hours of sleep any nite this week. I can't really complain, as again - I created this beast ... but holy crap! Been super super super busy. Going to my first event in a half hour for social media week. Totally sucks a monkey's butt that I haven't been able to go to anything at all this week.

I'm sitting in a coffee bean in santa monica. Pretty proud of myself for being able to afford this cup of coffee. A few months back, I would have just sat in a shop - gotten water and totally sucked them dry on the free wifi. It's been quite the ride - and its definitely not something I'll ever forget.

Just had the worst sushi I have had in a very long time with some of the best people I have hung around in a very long time. A journalist, three web developers, an entire rock band, the guy who shaped MTV in the 80s, a painter, and the guy who is credited for being one of the founding member of the Hollywood walk of fame. Who do these things happen to? I am still shocked every.single.day. that this is my life. It just feels so damn good - there's gotta be a way I can bottle this up and sell it - HAHA!!!! =) Very thankful for everyone that checks our nerdy little site out. You guys make me look super cool - and uh, yeah!!

I'm sitting next to the mayor of this coffee bean. I kinda want to geek out and ask how many badges he has. What ever happened to that nerdmeritbadge.com place that like had the IRL badges? That'd just be awesome. I'm up to 31 now - I want to show them off dagnabet!!!!

Going to the social media rock panel in just a minute. Pretty stoked, not gonna lie - and OH OH OH!!! Going to Disney tomorrow with @maniacalmorgan for his bday. YAHHHHH!!!! I need a bit of a break from this week. I do get a pretty nice balance every once in a while, I definitely know when my body cannot take anymore - but good lordy mordy, I have just never been so busy. Feels great!!

HAHAHA!! The dude across the way from me is totally trying to figure out a way to say "how you doin." I feel like we should have some sort of thumbs up salute type shit to let someone know you don't bite. Well, I don't bite unless you want me to. RAWWRRRRR!!! =)

Rock on nerdsssss! Rock on!!!

Great, great, great day nerds. Like really great day ... like such a great day, I did my screen test today on 2 hours of sleep, and STILL could not nap this afternoon because I was so excited. See, this is me ... I am excited ----->

I knew the last few weeks were going to be nutso, but I just had no idea what the real definition of nutso was. The awesomeness just doesn't stop - to say I am floored would be the greatest understatement of the century.

When we're kids, we are told find what makes you happy in life. My problem was being a lifecaster wasn't something I could explore with my guidance counselor. I am really, really, really, really, really, really, good at what I do. Just so rad to see that so many people are interested in it, and are catching on. I see the analytics, and I can pull the reports on the trends - dude, I eat sleep and breathe in this social space - but yeah ... totally fucking rad.

Had a great time meeting Serj tonight. I was reminded of Almost Famous tho - I never felt more like a "writer" in my entire life. I felt a little weird, I'm not going to lie. I kinda just wanted to shoot the shit with the dude, and unfortunately at an event like tonight ... it just was not going to happen. It was press vs. artist. That's never my deal. But thx again to @platinumevent for the love - and it was so great meeting @seven16. He saw my checkin, and totally stopped by to hang out. UBERLY rad!!!!

Love, love, love, me some life. OHHH!! And I talked to my lawyer today, and just found out the paperwork we need for the film just got a LOT easier. That makes me happy ... having to chase nerds around saying, oh oh oh!! sign this ... is a bigger pain than a bullet in a donkey's ass. Not that I've ever seen that, but it just sounded kinda cool.

Good stuff nerds, I kinda need to be pinched - not gonna lie, shit got very real today. A lot of people are talking nerdy to their lovers, and I couldn't be prouder. Thx a heap, nerds!!! =) Off to bed.

#Randombling: My Uproar #MetalMiniTour and SERJ Tonight!

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @LikesGoyBoys

Last Monday, the bad-ass roadie entity known as @OneRockGypsy sent a text stating that the kick-ass tour she's been on was about to blow through in Irvine on August 17th, and would I care to join the festivities with bands like Halestorm, Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed, as well as a bunch of cool up-and-coming bands?

August 17th came and went; we had such a great time, I thew in and joined the Dimebag Hardware crew in San Diego the following day. So things have been a little crazy, especially since Rita Haney, AKA Lady Dime, knows how to extend good, old-fashioned Southern hospitality, especially on her bus. I've been doing a lot of shadowing her roadies, watching the shows for the pit and side-stage, and last night, we partied with a bunch of like-minded folks at Rainbow Bar & Grill in the heart of my home-turf, the Sunset Strip. When you're with The Dime Crew, you're on #DimeTime: it's a hell of a state of mind. It embodies promise, hope, and above all, a great time, because that's how you honor Dimebag Darrell's memory. How did Darrell roll? Well, check it out. There's some filthy language in here, so it's NSFW, but it's good for laughing your ass off.

What's really funny is that about 4 months ago, Gypsy and I were sitting in the back of the Cat Club, scheming over how we were going to take music by storm this year. We're working on a lot of stuff, and tonight I'm hanging out with @JenFriel, @ManiacalMorgan  AND @OfficialSerj - because @platinumevent went full-throttle and hooked us up! #nerdsunite!

 Over the next few days, I'll be reflecting on some things that went down at my very own Uproar #MetalMiniTour that you won't be able to find anywhere else! 

Follow me on Twitter for the latest and greatest on what kind of mayhem I'm getting up to, especially since tonight we're going to hear what Serj Tankian has been doing!

That Nerdy Chick: I need a #randombling

#nowplaying: A punk - Vampire Weekend

Alrite, fuck the clock. If this goes longer than 5, I just don't care - I need to VENNNTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! First off, holy shit. There is a lot going on right now behind the scenes. The movie is moving along - but we're STILL delayed as our director is wrapping up a big project ... totally get it... kosher for passover and all - but timing is the ONLY thing we have in our favor. We are SO far ahead of other projects, but they're going to FREAKING CATCH UP!!! Don't get me wrong, I say this as objectively as possible - what we're doing with this flick, is going to rock the nerdy house. For reals ... it's just awesome ... and haha that's all I can say. But the bottom line is, we're not special, just awesome. Someone somewhere will think of something similar. Even though we're connected in Hollywood and the tech world, it doesn't mean peanuts if someone beats you to the punch. I am like FREAKING out today that we still don't have the final final final draft like we were supposed to this week. I really don't understand how films get made. In all honesty ... the fact that so many films, good or bad, have even BEEN made just astounds me. There are so many variables that can trip you up, and there is so much of a margin for error, I am just ... shocked. Literally. Shocked. I also see why people take super super super long vacations after a film is done. This is stressful.

Meeting with the uber big wigs at AOL on Tuesday! W00t! W00t! Pretty stoked. I honestly have no idea what I'm walking into, but dude - the guy's title is: Vice President, Original Video Programming and Production of AOL. yeeahhhhh!!! That's a pretty bitchin title right there. It's funny when I go into these meetings - I never really expect anything. I just say, this is who I am ... this is where I see this "social media stuff" going ... this is what I am doing about it. I always tell people very matter of fact, I don't need any of these big wigs to make it work. We're only 10 months old - I'd say, that's not too shabby!!!!! BUTTT!!!! I really wasn't kidding when I was up for a job with the CEO of AOL over the summer, that I really do think I can help them a lot. Whether or not they listen however, is a horse of a different color. Not gonna lie, kinda stoked too that it is LA based. I love love love me some San Fran, and am still going to be moving up there at some point when we shoot the film. But for right now, all the meetings and stuff I have going on are all in LA. So that would be some expensive flights. 

Speaking of flights ... dude! In a week, I'm flying on a private jet!!!!!!!!! It honestly has more to do with what made sense than luxury - but I'm going to Tahoe Tech on the 29th - and apparently theres only a small airport near the conference. SOO!! It made sense for the crowd that I'm consulting for to get a private plane for me, and the other 5 people to go on. SOOO RADDDDDD!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me there is a FourSquare badge for "I'm on a jet!" Cause that would be bitchin.

I'm still really sad that my brother won't speak to me, and I feel such a disconnect with my family. My dad kinda gets what is going on ... but my mom and my brother are just angry. Their anger at me is just so deep-rooted. When I told my mom about AOL, about our big NerdHerd party, and even all the updates about the film - I might as well have just been talking about the weather. To them, I'm still this financial fuck up, that has parking tickets, credit card debt, and does something on the internet that is marketing related. They think I'm completely delusional when I tell them I am going to be able to pay cash for everything for the rest of my life. That is really why I designated the hashtag #nerdsunite for this blessed little website. I had gone through a rechid breakup, and was barely speaking to my family ... you guys really do mean the world to me. The fact that ANYONNEEEEE finds this interesting when my own mother thinks I'm just out to lunch, is bitchin. Again dude, we have almost as many likes on Facebook that I have friends - and yet my brother isn't even a liker. Yeah ... but again, I have to check my own self and say "why do I need this validation?" Remember the enso I have tattooed on my left wrist? You are whole, you are complete, you are perfect. I think about it - and remember back to when I was a baby, and how happy babies are. For real, babies are just the greatest little bundles of joy! They aren't thinking ... so and so didn't call me back after that nap yesterday. I think I'm going to give them an evil eye until they realize the error of their ways. They just enjoy the moment, and are so effin HAPPY about it!! There has got to be something there that we know when we are born, but are some how conditioned to forget as we get older.

There you go. That's my story ... and I'm sticking to it. BLAAHHHHHHHH!!!
